MADISON, Wisconsin (Ticker) -- No. 14 Wisconsin looks to complete a season sweep of Minnesota and remain near the top of the Big Ten Conference standings Saturday.

The Badgers (20-4, 10-2) are on the heels of Purdue, but need to take care of the Golden Gophers (15-8, 5-6).

Wisconsin, which posted a 63-47 win at Minnesota on February 3, hopes to build on its 13-2 home record this season,

The Gophers still hold a 91-83 advantage in the series, but the Badgers have won five straight and 14 of the last 16 meetings.

Senior center Brian Butch leads Wisconsin at 12.7 points and 6.9 rebounds. Sophomore guard Trevon Hughes averages 12.5 points for the Badgers, who rebounded from their second loss this season to league-leading with a 68-66 win at No. 12 Indiana on Wednesday.

Butch banked in a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds to play to give the Badgers the victory.

Senior forward Dan Coleman is averaging 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds for first-year Minnesota coach Tubby Smith.
